Aboard the AVG Nighthawk, Cresh shift was just winding down in the early hours of the morning as the bridge began gearing up to be taken over by Aurek shift. End of day reports and systems checks were being ran per the normal routine as the Chief of the Boat paged the Captain for final hand off of the bridge command. Minutes later, Arcia Cortel emerged from the turbolift and signed off on several datapads accepting the reports the previous ship had created.
Several minutes later, the bridge was bustling with activity as Aurek shift took over the ship as Arcia pinged the ship’s internal communications array.
“Bridge to Quartermaster Skar, report to the bridge immediately,” her tone was direct.
After waiting what felt like an eternity, the lift doors hissed open and a near out of breath Kaleesh stumbled in, signs of a quickly squared off uniform apparent on his clothing. The bridge was sparsely populated at this point, which brought confusion to the young man’s face. Clearing his throat, he sounded off as he approached the Captain.
“Quartermaster Rrogon Skar, reporting as requested, Captain.”
“About time you show up,” Cortel smirked. “Follow me.”
She rose from her chair and paced back towards the turbolift as the doors hissed open and she waited for the junior officer to join her. Once doors closed, the lift made a slow descent into the lower decks of the ship before stopping on Deck 5, but the doors did not open. Skar was beginning to ask if the doors were malfunctioning when Arcia turned to him, her expression dark.
“Stay here.”
With that, she manually accessed the controls and opened the doors, making her way through the corridors and into the ship’s hangar. Skar paced back and forth through the cramped space of the lift before his communicator pinged to life.
“Rrogon Skar, your presence is required within the hangar. Report at once,” Chief Naradas of Security barked.
Not knowing what was going on, the Quartermaster pried the doors of the lift open and set off after the Captain, trying to sort out the situation. As he turned corner and the bulk of the Hangar was open to him, he froze.
Lined in perfect ranks was the majority of the ship’s crew, all in uniform with a clear path between them ending with Captain Cortel and Commander Teroch Erinos. Teroch waved the other man forwards to join them as the crew began to stomp into the deck with one foot causing an echoed ‘clang’ to pass through the Hangar. Skar, with wide eyes, approached the crew and the Captain as she began speaking loud over the noise.
“Quartermaster Rrogon Skar. We, the crew of the Nighthawk, have gathered here today for a very special occasion. One that does not happen often aboard this ship, but when it does, it happens on very high praise.”
Skar stopped in front of Arcia and Teroch, standing at full attention, still not grasping the full idea of the situation before him as Cortel continued.
“Your tireless efforts and constant dedication to your Clan, your House, your crew have not gone unnoticed. You are always readily available to take on the tasks placed before you and show no signs of failing any time soon,” Arcia cleared her throat and smiled as she spoke even louder. “It is with great pleasure that I have been given authorization by our Summits to offer the appointment of one Rrogon Skar, Jedi Hunter to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight! Hoorah, Skar!”
The crew sounded off, “Hoorah, Skar!”
I am honoured to be recommending Skar for his elevation to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He has been an outstanding, active and driven member of House Galeres, Clan Arcona and the Brotherhood as a whole. Keeping himself motivated he has managed to complete all requirements set forth by the Master at Arms as Andrelious has expanded on.
Since joining Arcona he has been a well focused part of this Clan, if anything a little uneasy on his feet to start with but that soon changed. As time progressed so did this member, he began to integrate himself into a battle team as well as developing his character inside of the Brotherhood. What I always find inspiring is to see newer members like him continue to progress inside the House, since he has been under my leadership he has always been asking for work. Driving himself to find new ways to progress the house and bring new and creative ideas to the table.
For all of his hard work since his last elevation we welcome him to the last Journeyman rank. Congratulations on all of your hard work and effort Skar, I look forward to seeing what more you do in the future. Keep up the great work bud.
Quaestor of House Galeres
